Food stamps (or whatever one wants to call the program) should be for staples ONLY. You want someone to cook your food for you? OK, fine...GET A JOB AND PAY FOR IT YOURSELF!
You want to buy convenience foods that can be microwaved, but which cost 2-3 times what staple foods cost? OK, fine...GET A JOB AND PAY FOR IT YOURSELF!
You want to buy bottled water instead of the nearly free tap water available to 99.0% of the people in this country? OK, fine...GET A JOB AND PAY FOR IT YOURSELF!
I am SICK AND F’ING TIRED OF SUPPORTING THE SHEER LAZINESS OF OTHERS. Buy whatever you want...with your own money. Can’t afford more than staples? Sorry about that, but if we the taxpayers are supporting you, then don’t eat out, don’t buy bottled water and don’t expect convenience. It not only isn’t moral to mooch off of others like that, but we simply haven’t got the money. Don’t like that? OK, fine...GET A JOB AND PAY FOR IT YOURSELF!
Staples only is right. I agree!
Over the Labor Day weekend it happened YET AGAIN that my husband was in line at the checkout behind someone who bought live lobsters with food stamps,while he,who works very hard,was buying cheap hamburger.
It’s sickening and a complete ripoff of the working people of this country. Why is it that people who don’t work can afford to eat better than people who do? Because the people who work are forced to pay for others to live better than they do themselves.
The problem with your tirade is that there aren’t any jobs in the obama economy. Or did you lose sight of that fact? Even fast food isn’t hiring too much right now.
